Futrinka Egyesület: What happened at Futrinka during week 46?

Though still in November, we are already eagerly preparing for our annual Christmas party, for which we are warmly awaiting all our kind supporters together with their 4-paw mates – the party is to be held 4th December, from 12:00 till 17:00 at Fat Mama Eatery. We will again have a cookie counter, the donations gathered this way we are using to cover our dogs’ expenses, to reach it we are welcoming the delicacies by our enthusiastic bakers!

As in the previous years, also this one we chose a human-focused association to support. We would like to surprise all the children living at the Temporary Home for Families with an individual package. For the girls there should be some girlish thing inside, for the boys something boyish, also chocolate, fruits, durable snacks.

Beside the personal gifts what the inhabitants of the Home desperately need are: bedsheets, towels, dish cloths, table cloths, hair dryer, school utensils, blood pressure meter, sweets, cosmetics, kitchen utensils.

We are collecting your donations for the Home at several points of Budapest, we can coordinate their takeover via e-mail at info@futrinkautca.hu.

You also have a chance to bring them to our December 4th Christmas party!

One of the longest-time protegees of our vizsla breed rescue found his final home this week, but we also had arrivals and several vet rounds as well.

Edgar had a routine veterinary check-up this week. Unfortunately his heartworm-test is positive, hence we had to start his heart- and skin-worm treatment using the slower, but safer method as we always do.

Liza Minelli’s heartworm test luckily proved negative, she underwent neutralization. She is ready to move to her owner next week, her would-be family is already eagerly waiting for her.

Szegfűszeg arrived at our care last August with her five puppies from a rural flaying house – together with her own ones she raised five orphans as well. Because of her mixture nature and heartworms no interest was shown in her, and it sadly did not change even after the several months of treatment, resulting in her negative heartworm test. She had been one of our longest –time owner-seekers, but luckily this is over now – following the long time spent waiting, Szegfűszeg found her final family this week.

The heartworm test of Csingusz proved positive upon his arrival, this week a repetitive test was done – also positive unfortunately, hence we are continuing his treatment.

Pálinka fitted in perfectly at his temporary adoptive – this week changed his status for a final one, officially becoming an owned dog.

Two vizslas had been waiting for our help for a really long time, but so far we did not manage to solve their transportation, even though shared their note a couple of times. Our volunteers headed for them on Sunday, this way Kaila, the wire-haired GSP girl arrived at our care from the flaying house of Debrecen.

Sánta Pajtás came to our care from the Nyíregyháza animal protectors, following an earlier accident he cannot use his wounded leg, even though had already been operated. His treatment was not possible locally, now we have to start is as soon as possible to ensure him the chance of walking on four paws again.

Csillag and Csodás changed their pansions, but are still looking for their final families.

We have received the result of Boldog Betyár’s histology: luckily a negative one. Nothing stands in his way now to move to his final family next week.

We were extremely worried for Zétény during the weekend, as this skin and bones dog just did not want to eat, his adoptive rushed to the vet with him. He received injections, medicines, medicinal cans, blood and urine were taken from him for a new lab test, he was also sent to a biopsy.

The matron of the base group, Belli, the staffordshire terrier auntie rescued from Illatos út visited the vet to get her dental plaque removed – fortunately she took the treatment well, also, her swollen teeth flesh does not cause problems for her any more. Belli is still waiting for the real one, an owner, whom her shortness of hearing and eyesight do not disturb, neither does her relatively much coughing because of her chronic asthma, sadly nothing can help this.

A tumour had been removed off Bio Böbe’s neck, we received its histology result this week: luckily the knot had been benign. Our joy is just endless, we had been extremely worried about what could have caused such a big, immediate knot on Böbe’s neck.

At the Great Dane breed rescue Sanja, the recently arrived young dog girl moved to a temporary adoptive this week. From now on she is continuing her owner-searching from a family environment, it just means a lot to her. We do hope the dream owner is soon finding her!

This week was a wonderous one for us as Dolly, the 15-year-old Dachshund lady got adopted. Unfortunately the elderly dogs are more difficult to give for adoption, a thing we just cannot understand, as they are simply perfect, love is the most important for them and are extremely grateful for getting it.

Dolly was adopted by a young lady, we regulary receive updates on their life together. Dolly is getting better and better, taking long walks, following these with great naps, she also left her diapers.

We do hope she is enjoying her owned life for a long long time!

We had two arrivals this week:

Tricikly, the Dachshund mixture lady, living in the streets for a long time – she lost one of her legs under a train and had puppies several times. Unfortunately she could not have been caught for a while because of her shyness, but finally the action was successful, she turned out to be a very nice, friendly dog. This week she arrived at us following a long journey in the car, for a couple of days she was frightened, but now is nice again, she realized she is loved. All she misses now is a loving owner.

Unfortunately we do not have any infos regarding the pre-life of Pöcök, the 5-year-old brown mini Dachshund female – she spent the last 3 years owned, but this extreme shy, at the same time dominant little girl did not have a happy life with them. Now we are looking for the owner giving her everything, but also being determined with her.
